Great sound where you want it

In-ceiling speakers have gotten really popular, and they're a great option for home theater systems. But much of the sound they produce can end up leaking into the room above. If you're enjoying a movie while someone in the bedroom above is trying to sleep...well, someone is going to lose some sleep. That's where Niles's ingenious wave enclosure comes in. It prevents sound "leakage" while enhancing speaker performance.

This rear-wave enclosure is designed specifically to work with Niles DS8HD in-ceiling speakers, for easy installation and custom fit. Acoustically inert materials and strategically placed rubber gaskets reduce unwanted sound transmission and vibration. The unique shape of the enclosure maximizes air volume so your Niles speakers deliver improved bass performance to the room below.

Features

Overview: The Niles Audio RWE8C Rear Wave Enclosure is an accessory
designed especially for the 8" Directed Soundfield series ceiling-mount
loudspeakers. The enclosure provides superior-quality predictable sound for
in-ceiling installations. It is manufactured to precise air volume
specifications for the compatible speakers for deeper bass response. The
enclosure also keeps sound waves from leaking into unwanted areas, such as
adjacent rooms or spaces. It comes with 24" of speaker wire, connected
internally to the enclosure's spring post terminals, and a batt of 100% Dacron
insulation.

Compatible Speakers: The RWE8C is compatible with the
DS8HD,
DS8PR, and DS8FX Directed Soundfield speakers.

Installation: After connecting the enclosure's internal speaker wire
to the speaker's terminals, the speaker and enclosure easily fit together with
tabs and grooves. Once the speaker is in position, you can twist and lock it
into place. The supplied set screw keeps the speaker from working loose. You
will need an additional 2" of depth (on top of the required speaker mounting
depth) and 10" of clearance to one side of the speaker opening for installing
the enclosure.

Enclosure Terminals: The RWE8C is equipped with a pair of
spring-loaded post
terminals, which can accept up to 12-gauge
speaker wire. For wire runs of less than 80 feet, 16-gauge wire is recommended.
You should use 14-gauge wire for runs of 80-200 feet, and 12-gauge wire for runs
over 200 feet.

Note: When running speaker wire inside walls or ceilings, special
jacketed cable (CL-2 or CL-3) should be used to protect the wire and for
fire prevention. If unsure, you should consult your local building
inspectors about code compliance requirements.
